Just imagine what this guy could do if he built a 1:6 scale geep 38 or whatever
That’s just sick. There are few things more pitiful than an obsessed engineer.
Jim (an engineer with a model train obsession)
if he’d made it a bit bigger he could drive it !
i find it a bit hard to believe he built it all from some photos he took , unless someone gave him a real car and allowed him to completely disassemble it to get photos of the engine , framework , etc. maybe the details of that were lost in the editing room . an amazing accomplishment however he managed it
I saw this car at the NAMES convention in Toledo back in April. Simply amazing. Literally everything works just like a real car. The work that some of these guys do makes even the most skilled model RR craftsmen look like rank amateurs.
But if I could build something like this, I think I would have to build it full size.
It blows my mind on the engineering alone.Its one thing to a detailed model but to make your own motor and transmission.
neat car, but I’d rather have the machine shop!
I’ve seen that car before, its an incredible piece of work.
And I thought I was doing pretty good when I assembled that see-thru plastic V-8 engine when i was a kid!..this guy really needs a day job…chuck
With a car that size, at least he won’t feel the hurt at the gas pump.
Simply amazing, but it is a shame he didn’t build a working scale model Shay locomotive.[:)]
He exhibits an amazing level of craftsmanship and dedication to completing a very challenging project.
This is more inspiration for me to continue with my modeling work, and as the saying goes:
“Good things come to those who wait”
